About two weeks ago, the girls started talking about hosting a birthday party for their stuffed animal, Cherry. Invitations were handmade. They both spent several hours in K's room building a piñata for the party. After two weeks of planning and creating, Libby decided on a date. ...
On Imaginary Friends
When Kyndall was almost four, we went to an event at a local church. (I call it an event because, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. Possibly the anniversary party for my parents, but I can't be sure.) At this event, a few older girls took Kyndall into a darker part of the ...
Our Summer Manifesto
For the past several years, we have created a Summer Manifesto. A list of things we want to do over the summer break. (You can find 2012's here. Apparently, I never posted 2013's.) We've been pretty successful getting these things accomplished in the past, and I have super high ...
Dental Woes…
This sweet baby girl of mine went to the dentist last week to find out that she has five cavities. Can you believe that? FIVE! I felt like THE worst kind of mother--I promise we blush and floss and I regulate candy as best I can. The dentist must have felt sorry for us, ...
Field Day Fun
Last week, our school had Field Day. It's a school wide, outdoor celebration where the kids do different games. It's not super competitive-- no awards are given or anything (boo-boo!), but the kids have a TON of fun.This year, we had "Opening Ceremonies" and Kyndall got to take part. ...
Bowling, Field Trips, and Chaos
Remember this post, when I said I really liked clean sinks? And how I felt like I really had it all together when my sinks were clean and shiny? Well today, my sinks look like this:Obviously, my life is in chaos. I need prayers, ya'll. If I can't keep my sinks clean, what ...
Project Life Tuesday, Digital Edition
This past week has been extremely busy. The good kind of busy, but still, busy. I didn't get to catch up on any layouts--I barely had time to complete this current week. I really need to do better about limiting my photos--maybe choosing only ONE photo per day, or one per 'happening'. ...
Confession: I’m Not A Fan of Mother’s Day
First off, my Mother's Day was wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better day. We started off the morning at church, ushering in a new pastor. Lunch was at my moms house, with the family. We moved from there to my in-laws, where the girls got in their first swim of the ...
Throwback Thursday, Baby Girl Style
It seems like only yesterday that I was writing this post about my baby girl starting Kindergarten. Tuesday night, she had her end-of-Kindergarten program. Please excuse me while I go sob in the corner.....First day:And now:Instead of a graduation program, the students all sang songs to ...
Farms, Eggs, and Field Trips
Libby's class went on a field trip to a local farm the other day. (We took this same farm field trip with Kyndall when she was in Kindergarten.) Libby is such a girly-girl, and I wasn't sure how she would like it. Animals, insects... mud! She completely surprised me and loved ...
Conversations with K & L
On what Justin and I could do while both girls were gone to Blake's birthday outing. Libby: Daddy, you should take Mommy out to dinner. And pay for it, because that's romantic. Randomly: Libby: Mommy, I really want two brothers. One for you and Daddy and one for me and Kyndall. When ...
She’s a Reading Girl, Ya’ll
Libby has been learning lots in Kindergarten. The most impressive thing, to me, is reading. Everyone learns at different levels, and her reading has improved dramatically over the last few months.Being a former Kindergarten teacher, I know that the "light" just eventually comes on for ...
